Chapter 116: Too Shameful!

“Lorne, you mentioned about some unique materials last time, right?

“Judging from Qiang’s posture, he probably won’t wake up later. I’ll hire a carriage and send him back to his residence first.

“I’ll make sure to send your materials to the salt refining place. We’ll be able to see the first batch of salt being refined in no more than three days.”

Lorne immediately snapped his fingers and said excitedly, “That’s great. I’ll go and get them down for you now so that you won’t forget them later.

“When the refined salt is out, don’t forget to bring it out for me to check on it first. I think if it’s qualified, you can immediately mobilize manpower and promote it to the area we previously set up for sale.”

Lorne immediately got up and ran to the cellar attached to the tavern to bring out a few jars of chemical reagents that he had prepared long ago.

Lorne did not have the ability to produce such complicated chemical ingredients in this limited time, but fortunately, the chemical reagents needed to extract crude salt were not complicated.

Therefore, after finding some substitutes, he was able to craft them.

After leaving these jars filled with chemical reagents by the door of the tavern, Lorne sat back down.

After the two of them ate and drank for a while, Kyle was thinking of sending these jars to the salt manor in the southern suburbs of Lolan City. Therefore, after finishing the dishes on the table, he stood up and got ready t leave.

“Lorne, I think it’s about time I leave. I have to personally escort these things to the salt manor, and I have to send this boorish man back to his residence.

“Let’s call it a day. I’ll come to your tavern to chat in a few days.”

Lorne nodded and then, together with Kyle, dragged the sleeping Zorn all the way to the door.

Then, Kyle ran out of the door and summoned the carriage he had sat in earlier. However, he deliberately got one that did not have the royal palace’s markings on it.

When the carriage arrived, Lorne helped to lend a hand. Together with the coachman, they threw the strong and heavy Zorn onto the carriage.

Then, the few jars of chemical reagents were put into the carriage as well. After doing this, Lorne, Kyle, and the others were finally done.

Lorne took a few deep breaths, then waved at his friend. He then turned around and ran into the tavern.

After the carriage had ridden until a certain distance, Kyle specifically asked the driver to stop the carriage. He then sent out a few other confidants.

He loaded the few jars of chemical reagents onto another carriage and headed towards the southern suburbs of Lolan City.

Meanwhile, Kyle led Zorn straight to the royal palace.

After they arrived at the royal palace, Kyle instructed the servants to carry Zorn to his study room.

He did not say anything about putting him on the couch. They just threw him on the ground as he was and Kyle asked someone to prepare Zorn some hangover soup.

Next, Kyle enjoyed the painting by Lorne in his study.

Due to the hangover soup, it did not take long before Zorn — who was lying on the ground — to move again. His limbs twitched a few times, and then he turned around in a daze.

“Oh my, Lorne, you dare look down on my alcohol tolerance?

“Fill it up for me and continue pouring until I say stop. I, Qiang, will drink all the wine in your wine cellar today!”

In this half-awake and half-dazed state, Zorn said a few drunken words very stiffly, and then suddenly sat up. He rubbed his eyes hard and patted his head. When he fully opened his eyes eye, Zorn saw Kyle sitting upright on the chair. “Yo, old man, why aren’t you drinking anymore?”

Kyle immediately glared at Zorn.

“What did you just call me? Care to look around as to where we are?” Only then did Zorn look left and right, to his shock, he was in the palace!

‘Isn’t this His Majesty’s study room?’

Zorn immediately flipped over and bowed to Kyle.

“Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was muddle-headed and didn’t see where I am. I’d never dare to be this impudent?”

Kyle snorted deliberately and did no reply.

On the contrary, after Zorn scratched his scalp, he got up from the ground and sat down on the chair beside him with a smile.

“Your Majesty, have we returned from the tavern? How is the owner of the tavern holding up?” Without waiting for Kyle to answer him, Zorn began to talk to himself.

“Needless to say, that kid must have been drunk to the point of dizziness. He’s probably more wasted than me, right?

“A veteran like me who roams the wine industry has been drunk on many occasions. He’s just a young man who doesn’t have as much practice as me. How can he drink more than me?

“In my opinion, he must have been drunk to the point of being unconscious. He might have even vomited.

“Your Majesty, were you the one who helped him clean up the tavern in the end?”

Looking at Zorn talking to himself, the muscles on Kyle’s face could not help but twitch a few times.

He did not want to give this old man a blow, but Kyle still silently handed the scroll in his hand over.

“Not only is the young man you mentioned not drunk, but he also painted something for you.

“He drew a picture with my brush and told me to give it to you when you come back. Aren’t you known as the Demon King? Open this picture and take a look to see if it’s true.”

For some reason, Zorn suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart. He hurriedly unfolded the scroll.

When he saw the contents of the painting clearly, Zorn’s scalp immediately went numb.

What the f*ck is this painting? What kind of posture was this man having being on the ground like that? The figure in the painting even looked a little similar to Zorn.

When Zorn saw the line of inscription on the side clearly, his face turned so red with embarrassment that he dared not to look at anything else except the floor.

This f*cking painting was really him. Looking at the way he was lying on the ground, there was no doubt that he was drunk and unconscious.

This was f*king embarrassing!

Zorn wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury his head in it. He could even feel the mocking gaze from Kyle..
